In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 348 The Federation's Number One, One of the Top Five Demonic Geniuses in the World, Leng Qianliu!
All 159 people were corrupted by the corrupt divine kingdom, including 19 of the 22 university students in the Federation who had mastered the complete divine inheritance.

The other three who were not corrupted are all on the ninth floor.

The three individuals are Zhuang Ze, ranked fourteenth in the Federation and from the Department of Military Science at Xinghe University, and Tang Jingcheng, ranked eleventh in the Federation and from the Department of Communications at Xinghe University.

And Leng Qianliu, a senior student in the Department of Daoist Law at Xinghe University, ranked first in the Federation and hailed as the strongest college student.

"Conquering the ninth floor is the final and most difficult step in unifying the tower."

Su Yuan spoke calmly:
“Those who haven’t mastered the complete Nascent Soul inheritance, stay behind. The rest of you, come with me to the ninth level. I will personally take charge of this battle.”

After saying that, Su Yuan took the lead and led the other three members of the team up the spiral staircase toward the ninth floor.

Behind them, Guo Zhengyi and nineteen other senior students with complete Nascent Soul inheritance immediately followed.

Accompanying them was the black mud, surging towards the ninth level like a tide.

That was black mud that had corroded the first to eighth floors of the tower, occupying an area equivalent to eight Taihua cities, no less than the size of a small country, and had undergone a qualitative change.

It is foreseeable that the moment these greedy black sludges taint the ninth level, the ninth level will also fall at a terrifying speed.

Before long, Su Yuan stood in front of the door to the ninth floor.

After acquiring ownership of the tower, Su Yuan relentlessly used his magical finger artifact to increase the tower's favorability towards him.

Currently, the Tower's favorability rating has reached 130.

With the aid of the Divine Control Technique, Su Yuan was able to mobilize the power of the tower to a considerable extent.

With a thought, the door in front of him opened automatically.

A warm, spring-like space filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers appeared before him.

To Su Yuan's surprise, there was no battle taking place here.

Instead, he saw the twenty members of the Star River University team working together to transform the environment of the ninth floor.

Students from the Daoist Soldier Department created incredibly strong Daoist Soldiers to move heavy objects and shape the environment.

Students from the Department of Communications built base stations and constructed a communication system similar to the Spirit Network.

However, compared to civilian-use spirit networks, the spirit network base stations built here by the communications students are clearly designed for combat.

Where the base station covers, spiritual energy and Daoist techniques can flow, transfer, and converge through the spiritual network, unleashing Daoist power that Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot achieve.

Then there are the students of the Daoist School, who communicate with the Daoist essences of various attributes within the ninth level, making them as compatible as possible with the students of the Daoist School, so that they can cast spells more smoothly and quickly.

In short, compared to the various competitions on the lower levels (one through eight), the twenty members of the Galaxy University team were as harmonious as if they were having a team-building activity.

Each person played their role to the fullest, together creating the most perfect battlefield environment.

This left Su Yuan stunned, and then he sighed in admiration.

No wonder Xinghe University is showing signs of becoming the top university in the Federation; its team spirit alone is unmatched by any other university.

Fortunately, only five days have passed since the top ten school teams entered the tower. If it were the fifteenth day, with the twenty prodigies from Star River University working together, who knows what kind of war fortress they would have built on the ninth floor.

The entrance to the ninth floor opened, and Su Yuan's appearance at the doorway quickly attracted the attention of some people.

A first-year student from the Taoist magic department stared at Su Yuan, somewhat bewildered, and asked:

"You are……"

Su Yuan snapped out of his reverie and gave an embarrassed smile:

“I am the destroyer of this wonderful atmosphere.”

"But don't worry, once you all belong to my corrupt divine kingdom, you can continue to work together."

The freshman looked bewildered, not quite understanding what Su Yuan was talking about.

Su Yuan didn't offer any further explanation and simply made a move.

Then, the freshmen and the rest of the Xinghe University team saw an endless stream of black mud surging in from behind the door.

Crimson and darkness shattered the tranquility in an instant!

"Enemy attack! Activate the Star River Mystic Network immediately to intercept these black muds!"

Tang Jingcheng, ranked eleventh in the Federation and first in the Department of Communications at Xinghe University, shouted urgently and rushed to the nearest Spirit Network base station as fast as he could, wanting to activate it.

But it was too late.

Or rather... no matter how fast he moves, the Spirit Network base station is destined to fail to activate.

At the entrance, a crisp sound of a gold coin clicking rang out.

Immediately, beams of golden light shot out, quickly covering each of the Spirit Network base stations.

Then, under the incredulous gazes of Tang Jingcheng and all the students in the Department of Communications, the Spirit Network base station, to which they had devoted so much effort, vanished in a golden light.

The combat system established in this way was doomed from the very beginning.

"What kind of evil magic is this?!"

Tang Jingcheng's face was full of astonishment and confusion.

Just then, the black mud surged up in front of them.

A freshman on the school team accidentally got covered in black mud.

In an instant, accompanied by his shrill cries for help, he was completely engulfed by the black mud, and in the next second, he immediately reappeared in his dark form, turning his spear against his former companions.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth members of the school team also fell victim to it. In the blink of an eye, Xinghe University had lost a quarter of its members.

However, Black Mud was not able to push through smoothly, and Zhuang Ze, ranked fourteenth in the Federation, stepped up in time.

Hundreds of Taoist soldiers, each three meters tall and possessing a robust physique, gleaming with a metallic sheen, formed a human wall, radiating a dense protective golden light that blocked the advancing black mud, giving their companions behind them a brief respite.

Zhuang Ze sacrificed his entire fortune of over a hundred soldiers, but he couldn't hold out for long.

Because Chen Nuoyi, who was holding the Dragon Emperor Coin, appeared.

The girl stood on the black mud, aimed at the Dao weapon that could be regarded as a magic weapon, and initiated a forced equivalent exchange procedure.

Of course, it's the kind of loan on credit.

The Dragon Emperor Coin once again emitted a strange golden light. With a sweep of the golden light, hundreds of soldiers vanished instantly, its power exceeding all limits.

Seeing Zhuang Ze's bewildered expression, the girl felt a pang of pity and spoke up:

"Consider this a loan; I'll return it to you after you surrender."

"I won't vote..."

Zhuang Ze tried to retort, but seeing the black mud surge forward again, he could only retreat hastily.

As he retreated, several more of his companions were swept into the black mud.

When he and Tang Jingcheng saw this scene, they both felt their scalps tingle and were at a loss for what to do.

This made the two of them subconsciously look at the young woman standing at the back of the line, holding a jade slip, with two braids, wearing square black-rimmed glasses, looking like a bookworm.

Even now, she is still looking intently at the jade slip in her hand.

"Senior Sister Leng, help!"

Although they were students in the same year, Zhuang Ze and Tang Jingcheng addressed her as "senior sister" very naturally.

Because this bookworm is none other than Leng Qianliu, the strongest college student in the Federation.

Hearing the call, the young woman wearing thick-rimmed black glasses finally raised her head and noticed the rampant black mud.

"The corrupt god kingdom... What a huge corrupt god kingdom."

She adjusted her glasses, her eyes behind the lenses showing surprise.

Zhuang Ze, Tang Jingcheng: "..."

Sister, at this point, stop lamenting and use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!

Fortunately, Leng Qianliu hadn't gone to the point of being stupid from reading too much. With a gentle wave of her fair hand, one after another, spirit network base stations made entirely of spiritual energy rose from the ground.

There are seven base stations in total, each over twenty meters high. The locations of the base stations subtly form a mysterious array.

Driven by the spiritual energy base stations, all the spiritual energy and Daoist principles of the ninth floor converged towards Leng Qianliu, who was standing in the center of the seven base stations.

With the blessing of this immense spiritual power and Daoist charm, the country girl with braided pigtails casually touched the black mud that was rushing towards her.

A crimson storm swept out and collided with the black mud.

The storm itself carried a bloody connotation, clearly a demonic technique, and within this crimson storm, there was also a faint hint of corrosive light.

After the scarlet storm and the black mud clashed, the latter's advance stalled once again.

What surprised Chen Nuoyi and the others on the black mud even more was that the scarlet storm and the black mud were actually mutually destructive, and the number of the latter was decreasing at a visible rate.

If the two sides are allowed to continue their internal strife, the black mud, which has only just broken through the gate of the ninth floor, may very well be blocked again!
This scene greatly boosted the morale of the remaining members of the Xinghe University team.

"Senior Sister Leng, you truly deserve to be the youngest Taoist master in the history of our Star River University. You found the way to break the corrupt divine kingdom so easily!"

Tang Jingcheng flattered him with a beaming smile.

Leng Qianliu adjusted his glasses and said:

"It's nothing much. We just created a similar power by analyzing the properties of the black mud, and barely managed to repel it."

"If the black mud spreads, there's nothing I can do."

Zhuang Ze said with a look of admiration:

"Although Senior Sister Leng was able to achieve this level by relying on the Daoist Nascent Soul inheritance 'Omniscient Eye,' I remember that the Daoist prodigies who had previously mastered the Omniscient Eye were far inferior to you in their application of this supernatural power."

"You and the All-Seeing Eye are fundamentally in a mutually beneficial relationship."

Leng Qianliu smiled sheepishly, once again adjusting her glasses to hide her embarrassment.

In contrast to the soaring morale of Xinghe University, Su Yuan's side was somewhat flustered.

Qi Hanyue grabbed Su Yuan's sleeve and said nervously:

"Su Yuan, Su Yuan, this Leng Qianliu is indeed not a woman to be trifled with."

"I remember her title was the Heavenly Wisdom Saintess, and seeing her today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved."

"This guy seems to be able to crack and copy even the divine abilities inherited from the Nascent Soul stage to a certain extent, thanks to his all-seeing eye. It seems to be the same type of ability as yours!"

"Are you sure?"

Su Yuan didn't speak because a system notification appeared before his eyes.

You faced one of the top five Foundation Establishment prodigies in the world.
